The Eddie Cleveland interview in Ride issue 152 was pretty long, so long that we had to cut a little out, but not too much. So here are a few questions and another funny story that didn’t make the cut (or where cut, depending on how you look at it).

Where do you want to travel next?
Wherever the wind takes me, man. I want to go everywhere. One of these days I will.

What gets you motivated to ride?
Good music, friends, videos, spots, sunny days, good vibes—anything good.

If you were at Woodward at three hours and you were only allowed to ride the foam pit, what trick would you learn?
Nothing, I would session the rope swing into it the whole time.

What car did you want growing up? And what car do you want now?
When I was growing up my dad had some muscle a couple old-school Chevelles, a Nova, and a Baracuda. He was a car dude, so I always wanted a car like that, like an old muscle car. I don’t even want a car now, but if I were to get a car, it would be like a bio diesel car or a Prius.

Can you tell me a good story about Andrew Fulton. What is the funniest thing you have ever seen him do?
This one time these two chicks came over to Marco’s house and were just chillin’ on the roof drinking some wine and beers. While we’re up there one of the girls gets all emotional talking about her friend who passed away recently in a car crash. She was being a total buzzkill—I’m not trying to sound like a dick, but I’m not trying to hear that sh-t when I’m getting drunk on a tall ass roof where I could fall off and die. Anyway, Andrew tells the chick to quit talking about her dead friend and that he knows what it’s like to lose a friend in a car crash. The girl gets all pissed off and starts yelling at him, “Shut the f-ck up you faggot. You don’t know sh-t.” Andrew is pretty drunk at this point and he’s a ruthless drunk, so he takes his glass of wine and just splashes it on her, but the glass slipped out of his hand and hit her in the face. It was awesome. She starts trippin’ “Oh hell no, lets get the f-ck outta here. F-ck these faggots.” So we stay on the roof and these chicks were talking sh-t downstairs yelling up at us “faggots” “f-ck you a—hole.” Andrew picks up a wine glass, pisses in it, and says, “Hey, are you girls still thirsty?” And then dumps it right down on them. He covered them with piss and then through the glass down and it broke on the roof of their car. It was so funny, they just took off in their stupid fast and furious car cussing the whole way down the street.
